There are two file methods to
choose from: Web direct fillable forms and File Transfer Protocol.
Web Direct Fillable Forms are much like completing a paper form. You
simply log on to the motor fuel e-file Web site and fill out the electronic
form. Liquefied Petroleum Gasoline (LPG) Dealers, Retail Marine Diesel Dealers
and Terminal Operators (annual returns only) must file using Web Direct Fillable
Forms filing option.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) includes ANSI X.12 813 4030 and ASCII Flat
File. A successful test file must be submitted before you can begin filing your
motor fuel tax returns. An Excel spreadsheet is available to anyone wanting to
file via ASCII Flat File.
